AoorDEST NARROWLY AYERTED.
While Responding 10 she fire.
Alarm Friday M 0rninR.

Alarm friday N QrninHs
The alarm of FIRE Friday morning was
caused by slight fire in the wood and
coal shed back of the dwelling No. 107
Poplar street, which is occupied by
Michael Clinch, a laborer at the Pusey d
Jones Company's works. The fire was
soon extinguisbed by the application of
several plug streams.
In responding to the alarm q terrible
accident was narrowly averted at Second
and Poplar streets. The Delaware truck
came down Poplar street, which is a mar
row thoroughfare, and when approaching
Second street little girl started to cross
Poplar street Immediately in front of the
approaching horses. When she arrived
In the middle she became bewildered and
stopped-a fire-engine being on one side
of the street and the little child blocking
the remainder of the street. Mr.. Evans,
the driver of the truck, had the coolness
aud presence of mind left to adopt the
only other alternative to prevent more
serious accident. He turned his horses
on TO the pavement, narrowly escaping the
child, and the poor animals were forced
into telegraph pole which stands on the
corner. The middle horse received the
brunt of the terrific shock, and in his
efFerts ta escape the impending eelspaity
leaped up to hight of six or seven feet
on the pole, where his hoof-marks remain.
He was considerably squeezed and the
truck crowding on him behind soraped
his launches considerably. The bricks
around the pole were torn up by the con-
cussion and the driver and tillerman were
thrown from their seats but escaped in
jury. The extent of the damage to the
injured horse can not be ascertained until
it is seen whether he has sustained inter
nal injuries or not. No further damage
was done. There were several other mar.
row escapes Of children who persist in
crossing streets in front Of approaching
fire-engineB.

INFRINGING ON A PATENT.
The Fire Companies Threatened

The Fire Companies threatened
with Salts Over Their Harness.
Captain Kidd of New York, the pro-
prietor OF the Sullivan patents on double
harness for use by fire companies, was in
the city yesterday week and threatened
to sue every fire company in the city for
infringement of his patents. The harness
used in this city is of the Barry patent
and is made in Oambridgeport, Mass.
The Reliance, Friendship, Washington,
Fame Hose and Delaware all use the
Barry patents on their engine horses and
also on their cart horses while the
Weeaacoe ana FnBnix also use them with
their carts.
Mr.. Kidd claims that all swinging har-
ness are infringements on his patents,
and expresses the determination to push
the matter in the courts He claims to
have won similar cases in New York and
Philadelphia, and that he has $5, ,000, 900
capital at his back to push his claims.
The Barry harness is used in Philsdel-
phia exclusively and in the fire depart
ment and fire patrol they have 1872 sets of
harness. Mr.. Kidd left bills of 800 each
with those companies who are using three
sets of harness and bills of proportionate
amounts with the other companies. He
left last night week and said he would
return in about ten days with lawyer
to enter suit.

WASHINGTON, April NAVAL officers
are much pleased with the result of an
attempt made at Thurlow, Pa, to cast a
steel stem for the new cruiser Baltimore,
now building at Cramps ship-yard, Phiia-
delphia. The piece weighed 10, ,OoO
pounds and was cast without a defect.
Commander Evans has Just examined and
tested the casting and pronouncea it to
be excellent. He says that it is probably
the best piece of steel casting ever done
in this country and the result of the cast
ing is the more remarkable and enoourag-
ing from the fact that success was OBJ
tained at the first attempt.
